The Mulkeys of America
Three Mulkey brothers--John (d.1736), Philip (d.1736) and James (fl.1744)--were in Virginia. John lived in Spotsylvania County, Vir- ginia, Philip moved to Precinct (now Bertie) County, North Carolina, and James moved to Bladen County, North Carolina. Descendants of John and Philip lived in most of the United States, and some immi- grated to Sinaloa, Mexico as participants in a utopian socialist colony. Few descendants of James have been located. Many Mulkey descendants lived in Georgia and Oregon.

Focus on Prevention, Health and Aging, New Health Professions
This double issue of Health Policy Developments offers a comprehensive look at international health policy trends and reforms from Fall 2005 to Fall 2006. The book reports on how various countries are approaching the challenge of improving access to health care services. It describes initiatives for providing better care to groups that have so far been neglected, such as the mentally ill. One chapter analyzes major health policy reforms in the Netherlands, Austria, England, and Finland, from their inception to their implementation. The authors ask: Do actual reforms differ from the original ideas on which they were based? To what extent have different stakeholders influenced and modified plans for reform? Have governments achieved their goals? The book also focuses on the topics of prevention, health among the elderly, patient orientation, personnel development, and drug policy.
Focus on Continuity in Care, Evaluation Techniques, IT for Health
The latest edition of Health Policy Developments examines how information technologies are radically changing health care--and how health care systems are altering their structures and policies to keep pace. The book also takes a closeup look at two other long-term health policy challenges, continuity and evaluation. Key issues addressed include multimorbidity (patients suffering concurrently from several chronic diseases), disease management program development, and patient empowerment or self-management. The ways in which countries acknowledge a culture of evaluation as integral to their health care systems and policies are also analyzed. Special attention is given to the conditions under which care providers use modern documentation, coaching, and feedback systems to improve quality, patient safety, and job satisfaction.
The Confessions of Saint Augustine
The modern scholarly verdict about the Confessions has been nothing short of sensational. This work documents the story of 20th-century criticism and praise for Augustine's classic, an ancient text that has grown in stature like few other Western classics. Disciplines such as psychology, literature, and religion, plus many others, all claim it as their own. The first chapter of this study puts modern Confessions scholarship into historical context. The other chapters are devoted to autobiographical studies, literary influences, philosophical interpretations, psychology, spirituality, and theological themes. Of interest to scholars and students in many disciplines. At the end of the 19th cent...
